Our best estimate for the Sodick AG35L is $120,000 - $200,000. This is an estimate for a sinker edm (ram edm) in this class, not a quote from Sodick; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/sodick-ag35l#price; the request is passed to Sodick or an authorised dealer.
It does not appear in Sodick's current lineup. The current AD35L covers the same 13.78 in (350 mm) of X and 9.84 in (250 mm) of Y, with 10.63 in (270 mm) of Z and a 1,212 lb (550 kg) workpiece limit.
The listed maximum workpiece is 750 x 550 x 350 mm (29.5 x 21.7 x 13.8 in) and 600 kg (1,323 lb). Only the area within 350 mm of X and 250 mm of Y can be reached in one setup, so a part of full size may need repositioning to reach every feature.
The listed tank capacity is 400 L (106 gal) of petroleum-based EDM oil. Budget for a full fill and new filters when recommissioning a used machine, and confirm the capacity on the machine, as this row has not been checked against Sodick.
The listed control is a Sodick GENESIS LN CNC, with 3D orbiting cycles, an automatic Z-axis jump and an ACTIVE3 generator at 40 A maximum current. Run each function on the machine before buying, because these rows have not been checked against Sodick.
